drummer!harry
you’re not sure how you let louis drag you out in the middle of your brooklyn 99 binge on a friday night
this is literally the first friday in weeks where you didn’t have any projects to work on and didn’t have any tests to study for
and you were going to treat yourself goddamnit but your best friend was just…. so… manipuLative
however
you said you would go only if you could choose your own outfit
louis kind of pouted over that but he was like okay fine i guEss
so lou’s wearing a nice button down and slacks and you’re dressed in a pair of jeans and a grungy t-shirt that he thought you had thrown out a year ago
louis chose your jeans because he said this pair makes your butt look extra perky
you let him get away with it since he was still being pouty about not being able to choose a dress for you
while you’re lining up to get inside the club you finally ask him: hey so whY the fuck are we here you dingus
apparently there’s a band playing at the club tonight and louis knows all the members (they’re in his music class)
some band called kiwi
you remember hearing him talk about them earlier this week but you didn’t think anything about it
anyway kiwi
which isn’t a very creative name in your opinion like it’s literally just a fruit and not a very popular one at that
(you’re just bitter because you really want to go home)
so you guys finally get inside and lou drags you towards the front because the band already started playing
as he’s dragging you through you make sure to apologise to any people he’s bumped outta the way because you’ve always been the more polite one out of the two of you
people seem to be enjoying the music and you have to admit the music isn’t half bad
there are 4 members
one singer, one guitarist, one tambourine player?? and… one drummer
you kind of scan over each member except the drummer because he’s all the way in the back and it’s too dark anyway
but from what you can see
damn this is 1 attractive fuckign band
you make eye contact with the singer and his right eye drops in a wink before he smirks at you
you feel your heart go boom boom
are you in love or is this just because you rarely get attention from the opposite gender????
maybe you should have let louis dress you
louis nudges you to get your attention and introduces each of the members
singer = liam payne
guitarist = zayn malik
tambourinist = niall horan
drummer = harry styles
they play a couple original songs and they also cover some songs
halfway through someone accidentally splashes their drink onto your shirt and you’re like haha it’s fine but on the inside you’ve strangled this stranger very violently already
so you go over to the bar and you’re sitting there rubbing at this new gross stain
it ends after about another fifteen minutes and liam thanks the crowd as the boys pack up their instruments
niall just shoves his tambourine into a lil drawstring bag and is like omg i’m SO tired
meanwhile harry’s like full on sweating and his arms are throbbing from drumming for nearly an hour
when they disappear backstage lou grabs you from the bar and drags you towards backstage and you’re like oH no nonononono look at me my shirt’s all gross and i’m kind of sweaty and-
“that sounds like a you problem, love. also you have no choice because you have to meet my friends!!!!!!”
so you let him drag you all the way to the back and meanwhile you’re still violently dabbing at your shirt because you’re about to meet 4 very attractive men and you look like a mess
you look up when you feel lou release his grip on your arm and you kind of hover behind him awkwardly as he bro-hugs all of the boys (except for harry?) and is like omg you guys were so goOd!!
liam looks over lou’s shoulder and he smiles at you and is like hey you must be y/n! we’ve heard a lot about you you’re prettier than louis lets on
you feel like your face is on fire and you’re like ahahHa thanksssSs you guys were really good i just disappeared because someone spilt their drink on me and you gesture to your shirt
everyone introduces themselves to you and you make sure to compliment niall’s tambourine skills and he’s like u know what no one ever appreciates my skills you are now my best friend
harry’s just standing behind everyone scrolling through his phone and he has his earbuds in and he’s still holding onto his drumsticks
liam’s like oi haz don’t be rude say hi to y/n
harry quickly tucks his phone away and he looks up at you and you feel like your heart stops because his gaze is so intense
now that you get to look at him properly you definitely wish you looked more presentable
he has soft brown hair with a pair of bright green eyes (u swear u see some flecks of gold in there too)
plus he took his hoodie off and he’s wearing a t-shirt that’s soaked in sweat so it’s sticking to his chest and you can see the outline of his abs and his v-line
oh god
you force your eyes back up onto his face and you offer him a smile and stick your hand out and you’re like hi i’m y/n
he nods once and mumbles a ‘hey’ before he’s going over to the couch towards his laptop and ur still there with your hand out like :-) i :-) want :-) to :-) die :-)
liam shrugs and tells you not to take it to heart harry is just a Moody Young Adult
anyways niall butts in and is like hey we’ve never seen you on campus!!!!
you explain to him that it’s probably because you’re on the humanities campus and they’re on the arts one
and niall kind of pauses then he’s like wow ur so smarT that totally makes sense!!!! his smile is so bright he’s so adorable
but then he asks you how you and louis met if you’re on the humanities campus and lou’s on the arts one
it’s a story for another day
(louis ended up wandering around the humanities campus on the first day and you had to walk him back to the arts one and you felt obligated to take care of this clueless stranger for the rest of your four years here)
liam butts in and invites you and louis to a rehearsal session sometime next week if y’all are interested which you vEry much are
your attention is still on harry like your eyes keep flickering back to him
zayn is the only one who notices this and he interrupts liam and is like don’t worry y/n harry will be there too
and you go into a mild panic and you’re like oH no i’m NoT- uh- i was just- you know because- i mean- i would love to watch you guys rehearse i’M NOT just there for harry that’s totally not-
louis: “we’ll be there!!!!!! okay y/n i think it’s time for us to go say bye bye” thank god for louis
on the way back to the apartment louis is like…….. so….harry’s kinda hot… am i right wink wink
you scowl and whack his head but in your mind you’re like YEs that haRRy k IS kind of very Hot wink wink
anyways next week rolls around faster than you thought it would
you meet louis by the juice place on the arts campus and he’s standing there with six bottles of juice and he’s also on the phone??
you walk over and he hands you the juices one by one before he’s snapping his fingers and gesturing for you to follow him
what a diva
you’re like ??!!!!! i might drop all of these but you do your best and you manage to make it to the music building without any accidents
thankfully louis holds the door open for you
you make it to the music room and the boys are like lou!!!! y/n!!!! juice!!!! (except harry because he once again has his earbuds in)
they flock towards you and take their juices with their names on it
you’re standing there with harry’s green juice and you want to ask someone to give it to him because ur kind of intimidated
louis nudges you and is like go n give haz his juice what r u doing
you swallow your nerves and pad over to him
he’s behind the drums scrolling through his phone
you clear your throat and he doesn’t look up
right
his buds are in
so now what
you’re awkwardly hovering
harry looks up suddenly and is like oh nice thank you for the juice and he takes it from you and you’re standing there like a gaping fish
“oh- i- yes this is yours- juice is like super nutritious so it’s great that you’re drinking it-okay cool cool cool cool cool” you shoot him some finger guns and kind of back away and he just looks… so….. unimpressed…..
aAAAAh
why are you acting like this
you’ve never been so awkward before
the boys are having fun watching you interact with haz
harry actually thinks ur kinda cute
okay not kinda
really cute
really really cute
and those finger guns?? admittedly awkward but also pretty endearing
he just
experienced a pretty bad breakup a year ago and since then has kind of been :// about stuff in general
but he’s more :// when it comes to LoooVe and crushes etc
so when you come waltzing in with your bright smile and your dumb hI i’M y/N and he feels his heart combust he knows immediately that he’s fuCked
he sips on his juice with a tiny little smile when he hears louis teasing you
“you are so right y/n juice truly IS nutritious!!!!!!!!!!”
“oNe more word outta you i swear to god”
the rehearsal goes great and you realised that you spent the entire time just drooling over harry
it’s just that he gets so into it and his biceps start clenching and he looks so anGry when he’s pounding away at the drums but it’s a hot kind of angry and he gets sweaty which usually isn’t attractive but makes sweating look SO attractive
his hair gets all damp and his skin starts to glisten and in you literally want to DIE he’s just so……….. atTractive
harry notices this because your gawking is pretty obvious
(he likes it tho because it’s boosting his ego)
usually he doesn’t get a lot of attention because he’s in the back all the time but the entire time they play 98% of the time your eyes are glued on him
but whatever ur just… ur just a dumb girl…. girls are dumb……
but he can’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy when he notices liam beginning to serenade you and he takes your hand and presses a kiss to your knuckles and your cheeks are heating up and you’re getting all giggly
in fact he begins to get a little offbeat but he quickly recovers when he notices you throw him a thumbs up and a smile
his heart melts
anyways rehearsal goes great and you ask zayn what they’re rehearsing for
they have another gig in three weeks at a fancier club and no surprise you and louis are invited!!
and you’re like aW well i actually might have to take a rain check i have a project due at the end of the month
zayni: “don’t u wanna see ‘arry?”
there’s a moment of silence where you and zayn stare at each other and it’s like telepathic
his eyes are telling you that he knows what’s going on with your lil crush
your eyes are telling him that if he tells harry you’ll kill him
louis appears out of nowhere and is like hey what are you guys talking about also y/n we gotta bounce because i think i left the stove on at our place
you: “i was just…. telling zayn that we’ll definitely be at the show! …and also ur an IDIOT”
anyways the weeks go by
you end up walking all the way to the arts campus a couple times a week to hang out with not only louis but also the other boys
they always make it so that you are always sitting next to harry when it’s lunchtime
but they make it so that you guys are basically smushed together like your arms and thighs are pressed together
harry doesn’t seem to mind and you certainly don’t mind
he begins interjecting into the conversation more instead of listening to music all through lunch
you find out that you luv his smile and the sound of his laugh
he likes it when you laugh because your nose crinkles very cutely
one time he took a sip of your juice without asking you and you r usually a germophobe but… u didn’t mind all that much
he also sneaks bites of your food and again you don’t mind because (you like him a lot)
usually when louis tries to eat your food you’ll glare at him til he backs off
so yeah it’s pretty obvious you like him
and harry is acting…. not like harry
just the fact that he’s doesn’t have his earbuds in while he’s talking to you is a huge sign
aLso he actually lets you listen to music with him and liam’s like remember that one time i took one of your buds and put it into my ear and you almost ripped my ear off getting it back
harry : don’t @ me
hm
so now it’s the night of the gig
you let louis dress you this time which means a tight/low cut dress and a pair of heeled boots
the boys are in nearing the end of their set and you’ve been standing there for just over an hour just bopping along to the songs
you feel your leg cramping up
and the boys are almost done anyways in fact liam’s beginning his thank you speech
you tell louis you’re going to go outside for a second to walk the cramp off
so now you’re outside humming along to one of the boys’ songs and pacing up and down and you hear the door shut
and you can juSt make out the faint stench of smoke and booze
“what’s a pretty little thing like you doing out here alone?”
you freeze when you feel a grimy hand grip your arm and turn you around
you’re greeted with a slimy looking stranger who looks like he’s had one too many to drink
“how’s about we have a lil fun out here? hm?”
“no thank you i think my friends are looking for me inside” you try to move past him but he moves when you move and he’s blocking the path
suddenly you’re being caged up against the wall
“your friends can wait a little while longer can’t they?”
you push the guy off and you’ve never been so scared before because he’s obviously much stronger than you and he’s forcing himself on you
“get OFF of me!” you give the guy another push before you find yourself slapping the stranger across the face
there’s a moment of silence where he’s clutching his cheek but then you feel your heart drop to your stomach when a slow smirk appears on his face and he tells you he likes it rough anyway
he’s about to pounce on you again before he’s suddenly yanked away violently
you literally freeze in shock when you see harry turn the guy around and give him a hard punch across the face
the both of them go stumbling down and all you can hear are grunts and harry cursing at him
the rest of the boys come out
they rush over and immediately pull harry off the stranger and his bottom lip is busted and there’s a cut on his cheek and above his brow and his knuckles are raw and bleeding
the other guy is much worse
you’re kind of shaken up but you snap yourself out of it and wrap harry’s arm around your shoulder and drag him back inside towards the washroom
he’s kind of dazed because the guy gave him a couple good hits as well
you make him sit up on the bathroom counter while you rummage through your purse for some spare bandaids that you carry around with you
“are you alright?” he’s literally bleeding and all bruised up and he’s asking yOu if you’re okay and you don’t have one single scratch
“i’m fine.. thanks for doing that.. are you okay?”
“’m good as long as you are”
there’s a moment of silence where you’re dabbing over his cuts and wiping away blood with a wet paper towel
he winces at the slight sting and you apologise quietly
your faces are only inches apart and
wow
you’re so pretty
and you look so cute when you’re concentrating
your eyebrows knit together and your lips purse slightly
harry reaches up to grab your wrist and to stop your movements
you’re like !! uh oh did i hurt you again r u oka-
he leans in and presses his lips against yours and makes you drop the wet paper towel so that you can cup his cheek instead
he tastes like a combination of mint gum and a tinge of metal from the blood
he pulls away suddenly and is like oh god sorry i shouldn’t have done that without asking you
you ignore him and grab him by the collar of his shirt and pull him back down
your eyes flutter shut and he pulls you closer to him so you’re standing in between his legs
you pull away a couple seconds later and you chastise him a little like hEy you’re not supposed to put pressure on a busted lip you dummy
your heart is racing in your chest and you just feel so hAppy all of a sudden
you two walk out of the washroom hand in hand and niall runs over like a frantic mother asking if the two of you are good and how much blood harry lost and …. aRE YOU TWO HOLDING HANDS OMG
you didn’t even realise you were holding his hand but you quickly move to let go
harry pulls you back in and grips onto your hand tightly
fast forward to next week
the two of you have not brought up the kiss
because you’re both wimps
so here you are at lunch
you try to feed yourself and then you feel a tap on your shoulder and harry’s there with his mouth wide open
you feed him your lunch and now half of your lunch is his but you don’t mind :-))
you still don’t know if you’re officially dating at this point
you don’t want to bring up the kiss either because you h8 confrontation
luckily you have (1) louis tomlinson in your life
“so are you guys a thing or what because there’s a couple deal at this restaurant and i’m looking for a couple to exploit”
the chunk of chicken drops from your fork and you’re sitting there like :0 and haz is also sitting there like :0
suddenly everyone’s eyes are on you and haz
and then he’s like wait what of course we’re dating
and you’re like we are???????
harry: what r u talking about did i not make it clear when we made out in a dirty washroom a week ago
louis: it’s a yes or no question people
harry: yes we’re dating. y/n’s my girlfriend. i’m y/n’s boyfriend. where’s this restaurant you’re talking about?
he wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you in closer
you’re still kind of in shock because you’ve apparently had a boyfriend for a whole week and you didn’t even know
life is funny sometimes isn’t it
the first time you ask harry if you can try playing the drums he’s like …. but this drum set is my baby……….
and ur like and i’m not?
haz: “touché bUt if you break one of them i will probably literally kill u”
you know the beginning of the hannah montana theme song
that’s all you know how to play so harry is relaxed because you’re not going crazy on the drums but he’s getting sick of listening to you play the same couple of beats 100 times
anyways getting real for a sec
as cheesy as it is love has opened harry up
the other boys are happy to see this
all of them are pretty grateful for you :-)
one time all of you guys were eating lunch out on the courtyard and harry’s in the middle of telling a story but then he slows down and kind of loses his train of thought and he seems to be looking at something
you follow his line of sight and you notice he’s staring at a girl
the boys are like o shit is that………… is that kendall…………
you’re like ?? ken-doll??
harry’s still in a trance and zayn’s like by the way that’S the one who shattered his heart
you look over again and she’s looking right back at him with a smirk and she waves at him but it’s not a normal wave it’s one of those very obviously flirty waves
you immediately crawl over and plop yourself down on harry’s lap and kiss him and he snaps out of it almost immediately and is like heLLo
it’s only when you hear the ‘hOooO okay okay she’s gone you guys don’t have to keep making out god y’all r freaks” from liam that you pull away and look over your shoulder just to double check
you wave back at kendall with a cheerful smile on your face as if you didn’t just fully stick your tongue into harry’s mouth in front of her
kendall looks taken aback before her friends shoo her into the other direction
you get off of harry’s lap and there are like cartoon hearts floating around his head and his cheeks are flushed and his lips are plump and he kind of looks drunk and he’s pretty sure he’s semi-hard so he pulls you back onto his lap to cover it up but you do feel it poking your bum and you promise him you’ll take care of it later
(you’re a much better kisser than his ex)
one time
you came early to hang with harry because he said he was going to rehearse for their next gig
so you’re sitting there typing out your essay but your eyes keep flickering towards haz
he just finished with a set and is looking over at the music sheet
he’s panting slightly from the intensity of the drumming and it reminds you of how he gets when you guys fuck
and
and
you want to fuck him
yep
you find yourself abandoning your work and strolling over and taking the drumsticks out of his hand and suddenly you’re straddling him
harry is like hey missie what r u doing i kind of need those to rehearse but when you lean down to kiss him he forgets all about it
he’s kind of damp with sweat but somehow you find that makes him 100x hotter
you run your fingers through his hair and he lets out this sexy grunt and a quiet ‘fuckin’ hell’ and you just feel the heat iMMediately zIP down to your nether regions
his hands are all over you but mainly your ass and meanwhile he’s having a good time nipping at your neck
you giggle because it tickles a little and harry wonders how you can be so sexy yet cute at the same time
he presses his lips against yours again and lets you have your fun aka you running your hands over his chest and giving his biceps a couple squeezes and
harry really wants u to ride him right now
“aaAAAAAoH My GOD NOT IN THE rEHEARSAL ROOM”
you turn to look over your shoulder and you see liam standing there covering his eyes and the other boys come in and all of them unsurprisingly are like omg GroSs
except for louis because he’s like lol that’s my girl
